As the honorary coach of national table tennis, Xiao Zhan, since the 2012 London Olympic Games, has been helping the national table tennis silently cultivate talents, until the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Xiao Zhan's guidance still did not stop his footsteps, in this decade, Xiao Zhan's guidance has created countless brilliant achievements, cultivated many well-known table tennis players, the most representative players are Zhang Jike and Wang Manyu.
There was a period of time when the national table tennis was in the era of two kings and one horse, and several of them overshadowed the limelight of all the national table tennis, but at that time Xiao Zhan cultivated Zhang Jike, and the birth of Zhang Jike also directly ended the era of two kings and one horse, at that time, Zhang Jike was like a dark horse killed in adversity, impacting in the era of two kings and one horse, and also achieved the fastest Grand Slam in the history of Zhang Jike.
After training the male team players, Xiao Zhan resolutely chose to coach the female, and then Xiao Zhan began his new legendary coaching road, after coming to the women's team, Xiao Zhan still paid silently, no matter who will have certain results in the guidance, Xiao Zhan's coaching ability is beyond doubt, plus Xiao Zhan can also speak English, which is obviously another big advantage.
After Xiao Zhan's guidance began to cultivate Wang Manyu, Wang Manyu as a new generation of excellent seedlings, Xiao Zhan naturally will not let her drown, as Xiao Zhan's current disciple, Wang Manyu's efforts are also obvious to all, Xiao Zhan after the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, Xiao Zhan strengthened the training of Wang Manyu, day and night, but Xiao Zhan did not shout a word of hardship.
In the interval between the National Games, Xiao Zhan and Wang Manyu trained almost every day until 11 pm, and then the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships Wang Manyu won the championship consecutively, which is inseparable from Xiao Zhan's intensive training, and Wang Manyu's excellent results can be said to be half attributed to Xiao Zhan. And it is such a conscientious and diligent coach, but it has still been questioned by many fans.
Some fans think that the training of Xiao Zhan's guidance is too crazy, although the trained Zhang Jike ended the era of the two kings and one horse is very brilliant, but Zhang Jike's service time is very short, Xiao Zhan's training is a bit harmful to the athlete's body, and now coaching Wang Manyu Although there is no discomfort at present, but training until 11 o'clock every day Is not what the female player's body can bear, although Xiao Zhan's coaching level is very high, but he should also pay attention to the body of the players, after all, the body is first.
